Foursquare Lists Help People Plan Future Check-Ins

Lists help users keep track of all the places they'd like to go,
and discover all the places they should go.

They can be made quickly from a user's check-in history or they
can be created from scratch. Users can share lists with friends,
and view friends' lists too.

This move catapults
Foursquare into future check-ins. It also positions them well
as a group travel app. Now users can focus more on planning trips
and discovering venues than on highlighting where they already
are.

Foursquare is launching the feature with
a bunch of lists from major brands. People made a list
of places to "check in like a superstar." Bravo put
together a list of places where Millionaire Matchmaker films dates.

Capitalizing on "intent" is a smart move for Foursquare;
people want to do much more than they actually do.
